In 1990, Public Enemy released the seminal Fight the Power, an anthem consisting of four minutes and forty-two seconds of verbal fireballs aimed straight at The Man. While it’s completely sans clock-wearing gremlins, the Dorkbot movement continues that message in a much nerdier, gaming-based, caucazoid form.
The above video comes courtesy of Dorkbot Vienna and extolls the virtues of circumventing the crunchy DRM coating present in every game since the beginning of time. From pinball machines to the Nintendo DS, our pasttime has been bought and sold by The Man since its inception and it’s good to see some of our compatriots take back the night.
(Editor’s Note: We would like to apologize to the Take Back The Night movement whose motto we blatantly lifted. This in no way demonstrates an institutional support of rape or rapists, and Destructoid.com would like to assure its stockholder that we staunchly adhere to an official anti-rape stance. — The Board)
